AND now comes the Dallas News with n
bull communicating Richard Coke from
the Democratic party. The News is rare
hand at making "bulls," but it has not
enough of p.pal power to carry this one
into execution .-Gainesville Register.
The News displays the usual zeal and
lack of wisdom of new convert.
That paper has labored ir defatigably
the past two months to show
that the anti party composed
of Mills, Gibbs, Wade, Newcomb,
DeGress, Cochran, aud Others, is The
grand old Democratic party OF Texas.
There is about as much truth and ear
nestness in this assumption as that of
the liquor men that under prohibition
more whisky is sold than under license.
If the prohibition laws caused an in
crease in the sale of liquors as claimed
all the saloon men would join the pro-
hibitionists instead of put
ting up s25 to $50 per month
each TO defeat it. So 1t may also be
said that if the Newses really believed
that prohibition success would dis
rupt Texas Democracy, make Gov.
Ross administration failure. and de-
feat Coke for the senate, then surely
the Newses would quickly join the
pros and reverse its rule of charging
the pros big prices for advertising and
giving the anti cause column after col
umn of editorial matter in opposition

The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1887-07-27

THE HERALD has, for several weeks
observed and frequently referred to
the selfish greedy spirit OF many
of the papers and speakers of the anu
prohibitionist, Blu did not really think
that this unworthy sentiment
was so extensive among inc
democratic antio, as is evidenced
by an excerpt from the News report
which the HERALD rcproduces else
where From this it would seem that
the offices are about as much an issue
with the ants as is the liquor traffic.
An interesting question presents Itself
lust here: Will the democratic ants
admit Ecwcomb, Cochran and wade
in place of the Democratic pro whom
thew will read out ? And will they
advocate woman suffrage so as to
properly reward the colored cooks
who SO numerously joined the party
to Fort Worth, and helped so mater
ially to swell the number which was
desired should exceed the prohibition
rally? Then supposing the answer to
their two queries to be affirmative,
another question forces itself to the
surface: What are the two-thirds
ofthe prohibition democrats going to
be doing when the anti one.third un-
dcrtakc to carry out their threats OF
accommodation Will the demo
Gratis of Texas allow their party to be
captured by the Indifferent bigots who
are plotting for the capture of the
party organization to commit 1t and
Texas for all time to the perpetuatlon
ofthe LIQUOR traffic? The HERALD re-
iterates its adherence to the last dem
ocratic State platform. and would
urge the prohibition democrats OF
Texas to be wide awake and
active and when the time
comes for work-to leave nothing UNI
done to prevent the accomplishment
OF the purpose of the saloon influence
of Texas, See to it that the Dcmocra-
CIV of Texas is not committed to the
service of the saloons.

REMEMBER THIS.

The prohibition amendment can be made
the supreme law of the land by receiving n
majority OF one vote on the FOURTH DAY
of August. TO amend the constitution by
having this clause stricken out Will require
the favorable vote of two-thirds Of both
houses Of the legislature and aiterward
majority vote of the people. To procure
legislature, twothirds of whose members
are opposed to prohibition, would require
Mt least two.thirds of the voters In the
State TO favor the repeal OF the prohibitory
clause OF the constitution.-San Antonio
Times.
That is in the future and may or
may not be probable. But the vote
submit ting the amendment is OF
the past and fact beyond qucs-
ton, even by the Times. The
point then is tins, that, according to
the lines logic, two-tnirds ofthc peo-
pie of Texas AS represented in the leg
islature by the two-thirds voting Tor
the submission to the people, favor
State prohibition. Admitting this
two-third sentiment in favor of prohi-
bition, as the Times does, it occurs to
the HERALD that it then becomes a
matter of right that prohibition should
prevail, and have fair trial. Its fur
thcr discussion and prolonged bitter
dissention would be succeeded by
quiet, and good feeling would again be
rcstc red between democrats, republic
cans and social and friendly ties which
have been severed for several months.
The prohibition amendment is one of
those causes that prevails because Of
its righteousness. tits only aquestion
of time. The sooner Texas falls in
line the better for peace, progress and
business.

The Lincoln Independent says
that the policy Of the Republican
party has always been rule or
ruin" The assertion is as indis-
Greet and impolitlc, as it is untrue,
inasmuch as the policy indicated
has been demonstrated Eas that OF
the Democracy. What caused the
rebellion OF '61i Had the Dem,
ocracy succeeded in electing Bleck-
enridge and Lane, would the Dem
ocracy have raised Ned. The le-
gitimacY and constitutionality OF
Lincoln's election was meyer dis
putcd, vet between the dato Of bis
election and Inauguration. nine
States adopted ordinances of Sc
cession. Was not rule or ruin"
the policy OF the Democracy then!
and was not the ruin worked, the
most prodiglOus and soul.sickening
ever wrought. The Independent
chap ought t. tackle something he
understands. In playing with pO
htical tools he is sure to dismen-
Der himself.

pEATHlOF JUDGE WOODS.
We were panied this week

We were panied this week on
reading the dispatch announcing
the death Of William Is. Woods,
Judge of the Supreme bench OF
the L. S. We had the honor of a
close personal acquaintance with
the distinguished .lurist, long before
he attained his national reputation
and when his popular star was al
it's zenith. For years, we pub
lished a paper in his native city,
Newark, Licking Co., Ohio, whore
not to know him WAS 10 be un-
known. In early life he was j 10
bust Democrat, and was hon
ored by his party very distinct
lively. When the war broke out,
he cut himself loose from that party
and entered the service OF his
country by enlisting in the army.
His brother Charles, was a West
Pointer, and already in the service,
and both came out of the rebellion
with the rank OF Major General OF
Volunteers. Charles died Il couple
of years since, while IN command at
Newport, Ky, and now William
has gone to meet him. His tnneral
at old Newark where his remains
will be consigned will be such an
one as never took place there be-
fore. The mourning will be gene
raj and deep, for il ali the elements
of true manhood he WAS the peer
Of the nobleSt who ever wore
spurs or won stars. His memory
will be forever green in the hcs rts
OF his host CT friends. whose like
will not appear during their lite
and gencNtion.

all general rules, must have excep-
tions which prove the rule. Every
Christian mother washes and dres-
ses her children on a Sunday morn
ing, So as to attend divine service
in their best clothes. SO soldiers
are required to wash and dress in
their best for Sunday.
"This is all that Sunday morn
ing inspection means, and every
officer who commands a garrison
in any country will state that sol
diers are much more moral, much
better behaved, and much more
disposed to practice Christian CON
duct when so cleaned up and so
dressed than if allowed to lounge
about unclean Sunday morning.
| assure you, knowing the fact,
that your good wife has as much
Of the Sunday morning inspection
of her children as Gen. Schofield
has at West Point. If your fam
lily comprises ton children, the
service bears about the same rela
tiSn to the officers of it's garrison
as your wife docs to her children.

WHAT pity it is that we, or
some of our readers did not know
in time that the Crown jewels Of
France were to be sold on the 18th
inst, as IN that case we might have
taken run over and bid in a few
of them. They were to be divided
into forty-eight lots, and one of
the lots would have made very
pretty showing in White Oaks.
There was PAIR of shoulder knots
set with 1,34l diamonds; another
pair, ascribed to the taste of Marie
Antoinette, containing but 223 bril-
liants, and seven stars containing
2l5 fine stones. a necklace con
tainng 224 stones could have been
purchased fer about $50, 900; a
historic diadem, worn tor centuries
by the Queens Of France, studded
with emeralds and 5000 diamonds.
There was a girdle, made in 1855
for Eugene, worth $4,000, and
another which she had made, in
imitation of one worn by an actress
in fairy spectacle, and worn but
once. This was also worth about
$40. 900.

THE SUNDAY LAW.

known as the Sunday Law" as
all odiods legal enactment. 1t ex-
lists in all States and Territories in
the country, but is not enforced in
scarcely any as vigorously as in
New Mexico, and here 1t par.
takes, largely, of sort of black
mailing game. The law applies
to every, or almost every vocation
in lite. Through it's workings it
would or could close, not only
stores and saloons, out livery sta
bles, barber shops. mining mills
&c. Here it is applied only to sa-
looms and stores. A family may
not find out until the Sabbath that
it is out of one or more essentials
for domestic use, and the law tor
bids the head OF the family to
provide it. Norris this all. When
court meets, the officials go to the
record, secures the name OF every
licensed business man, and with
out information, warrants are iG-
sued on the assumption that each
and al have violated the law, and
tha parties 80 summoned are ar
rested, forced to give bond, and
to travel, ne matter how lar, to
the county seat, and plead. We

who had not violated the law. yet

ness IN charge of others, gU to

Of their innocence, and be told to

Several bills were presented by
the Grand Jury, among which were
bills against the Langston and Bon
nell boys for malicious mischief,
and Rev. j. E. Sigh for alleged
buying, and disposing Of stolen
property. All the parties named
were put under bend, and cases
continued until the August term of

Freeport, ILL.,, April 2l.-Connpany G..
of the Illinois National Guards, whose
headquarters are in Freeport, was at
Galena last night. where the athletic
club of the company gave al exhibition.
They stopped at the Desota house.
With them was Jere Wright, young
colored man, who went along 70 look at
ter the baggage. This morning Wright
went to breakfast with the company, and
while he was eating, William H. Blew
EFT, proprietor of the hotel, ordered the
young man from the dining room, de-
claring that no niger" could eat in his
dining room. Capt. Wittbecker came
in about this time, pnd told Blewitt that
Wright had come with them and that he
should be treated just as we'll as any
other member Of the party. The cap
tain and his entire company thereupon
went to another hotel.
